[[File:VT_origins.svg|thumb|Areas of the left ventricle where VT's can originate from: The left ventricle is depicted as having been opened. Regionsare as follows: '''AA''' = antero-apical; '''AB''' = antero-basal; '''AM''' = mid-anterior; '''SA''' = apical septum; '''SB''' = basal-septum; '''SM''' = mid-septum; '''PA''' = posterior apex; '''PB''' = postero-basal; '''PM''' = mid-posterior..

The localisation of the origin (or exit site) of a ventricular tachycardia can be helpful in understanding the cause of the VT and is very helpful when planning an ablation procedure to treat a ventricular tachycardia.
